I know a repeater control operator with gear on Loma Prieta, so he drove us up for this one.  The road is narrow and 4WD is recommended but probably not required.  Need high clearance for sure.  The real issue with this summit is there's a locked gate with a no trespassing sign just below the activation zone.  You could hike into the AZ if you go around this gate, but it's at your own risk.  There are cameras everywhere, but there's also a lot of buildings and equipment so many people have access to the site. If you are with someone that has a key to the gate it's a drive up.  If you have to hike around the gate you'll have to hoof the last 1/2 mile or so and risk getting in trouble. That's the main reason this summit has so few activations.  There's also a private road sign several miles from the gate, but except for getting shot by pot growers I don't think there's much to worry about there. We just set up our end fed by the building our friend was...
